    Abstract:
    The mechanism by which inositol 3,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(3,4,5, 6)P4) regulates chloride (Cl-) secretion was evaluated in the colonic epithelial cell line T84 using whole cell voltage clamp techniques. Our studies focused on the calcium-dependent chloride conductance (gClCa) that was activated either by mobilizing intracellular calcium (Cai) stores with thapsigargin or by introduction of the autonomous, autophosphorylated calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) into the cell via the patch pipette. Basal concentrations of Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 (1 microM) present in the pipette solution had no significant effect on Cl- current; however, as the concentration of the polyphosphate was increased there was a corresponding reduction in anion current, with near complete inhibition at 8-10 microM Ins(3,4,5,6)P4. Corresponding levels are found in cells after sustained receptor-dependent activation of phospholipase C. The Ins(3,4,5, 6)P4-induced inhibition of gClCa was isomer specific; neither Ins(1, 3,4,5)P4, Ins(1,3,4,6)P4, Ins(1,4,5,6)P4, nor Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 induced current inhibition at concentrations of up to 100 microM. Annexin IV also plays an inhibitory role in modulating gClCa in T84 cells. When 2 microM annexin IV was present in the pipette solution, a concentration that by itself has no effect on gClCa, the potency of Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 was approximately doubled. The combination of Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 and annexin IV did not alter the in vitro activity of CaMKII. These data demonstrate that Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 is an additional cellular signal that participates in the control of salt and fluid secretion, pH balance, osmoregulation, and other physiological activities that depend upon gClCa activation. Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 metabolism and action should also be taken into account when designing treatment strategies for cystic fibrosis.
